Genre: Mystery

"Everyone is Lying to You had me questioning everything I thought I knew about social media and influencer culture. A tense, seductive thriller exploring the covetous desire to be someone else and the quiet, conflicting hunger we feel to be seen for exactly who we are. A riveting, eye-opening read." - Elle Cosimano

"Jo Piazza has crafted a wild, addictive, and mercilessly entertaining read. Beyond the twisty plot and darkly delicious humor (an influencer conference called 'MomBomb' is alone worth the price of entry), Everyone is Lying to You dissects the fundamentals of our closest relationships with alarming acuity, spinning a riveting tale of power dynamics that shift in unexpected - and dangerous - ways." - Abbott Kahler

"Maybe you think the Tradwives trend is bizarre, maybe you think it's aspirational, or maybe you think it's something in between - well, Everyone Is Lying To You proves that it's all true...and a lie. One part cautionary tale, one part thrill ride, Jo Piazza has pulled back the curtain on tradwife influencers and their confounding wealth, unscrupulous behavior, curious mothering practices, and asks the question: is this entrepreneurship, or is it coercion? The book is a great conversation starter for what's happening in our culture at this very moment - and it's a fun, twisty mystery, too! I was obsessed with this strange world from start to finish." - Sara Shepard
